AHERC Lab Is Making Room
The 91视频 Hydrokinetic Energy Research Center鈥檚 Stephanie Jump is starting the new year by upgrading the shelving in the Hydrokinetics Lab, located at the University of 91视频 Fairbanks campus in ACEP鈥檚 Energy Technology Facility.
In recent years, AHERC鈥檚 scope of projects has increased, along with the amount of equipment needed to complete these projects. This has led to a need for more efficient storage.
AHERC has a number of deployed oceanographic moorings that will come back to the lab in the spring for maintenance and turn-around for their next deployment. To help make room for this work, two sections of 12-foot-tall pallet shelving will replace the existing storage and shelving. The goal is to take these quieter winter months to increase vertical storage and create a workspace that is better suited for current and ongoing projects.
